Panic bars, also called crash bars or exit devices, are surface-mounted or mortise-style mechanisms that allow an occupant to open an egress door by applying pressure to a horizontal bar. The first step is to determine whether the door latch and frame can accept a surface-mounted device or if a mortise or concealed vertical rod device is required. We inspect for existing trim, latch style, frame reinforcement, and whether the door swings in the direction required for a panic device. Hardware must match the door material and thickness, and may require specific strikes or reinforcements to secure the latch properly. Electrical features such as delayed egress, alarmed exits, or integration with access control can be discussed if you need them, and we will explain how they affect operation and compliance. We test every installation for smooth operation, proper dogging if selected, and secure latching under normal use. Finally, we show staff how to operate the device and how it functions in both everyday and emergency conditions.
What affects the cost
Cost depends on the type of panic device chosen and the door conditions revealed on inspection. We quote the price on the phone before beginning work so you know what to expect.
- Device grade and features
- Door and frame condition
- Need for reinforcements
- Electrical integration
- Replacement trim required
Worth knowing before you call
Make sure the exit device you select allows unobstructed egress and matches local requirements; not every panic bar fits every door. Surface-mounted devices are common on metal doors and are often easier to install, while mortise and vertical rod systems are used on different door constructions or where multi-point latching is needed. If your door is part of a fire-rated assembly, mention that during the call so appropriate hardware can be considered. Consider whether you need any electrical features such as alarms, delayed egress, or connection to an access control system; these affect operation and require specific components. Regular maintenance keeps a panic bar working smoothly, so plan periodic checks of latching, lubrication of moving parts, and inspection of strikes. Finally, ensure staff are trained to use the hardware correctly so normal operation and emergency egress remain reliable.
Before we arrive
Before the installation, gather basic information to speed the assessment. Knowing the door material, swing direction, and whether the door has glass or special trim will help.
- Note door material and thickness
